What I Learned From Comic-Con By Reading Stuff Online Monday / 07.28.08 / 01:31PM / Joe / comments: 0
Holy crap, check this trailer for the latest Batman animated series...
How fucking fun does that look! I've long bemoaned the 1960s Batman TV series as sort of painting comic book super-heroes into a bam-pow corner for the past forty years, but there's still room for fun without being wink-wink cheesy and full of self-loathing. It's rather astounding that they're going for a no-Gotham, silly-prop Batman so soon after The Dark Knight. (article here)
And I like that art style so much better than the stiff body copy/paste that Justice League devolved into.
Final Foster's episode entitled "Goodbye to Bloo." I've barely watched that show, but I've seen it enough to already start feeling sad about that episode title. They are going to go super poignant on this one, I'll wager.
Watchmen video game sort of announced. But it's going to be episodic DLC. Come on.
Archie heroes coming to DCU. I think DC has owned these guys for years, but since the Impact! line failed miserably, they haven't done anything with them. Now they will all be DCU-centered.
Milestone heroes coming to DCU. That's pretty damn cool. Like the Archie announcement, it's sort of a shame that they couldn't have done this a few years ago, so these Earths could have been part of the 52.
J'onn J'onzz will never die. "A fan asked whether Martian Manhunter was 'dead-dead or Geoff-Johns-needs-a-Black-Lantern-dead.' 'Geoff Johns needs a Black Lantern dead,' Johns said."
